“A leader in Driscoll’s creates an environment of inquiry, innovation and execution built upon a thorough commitment to the Mission. The leader not only exemplifies Driscoll’s values, but is also a source of courage and conviction to his/her colleagues.” - J. Miles Reiter, Chairman & CEO

At Driscoll’s, we’re committed to Growing Great People. This means that we help our employees learn about and support our overall business strategies. We also provide opportunities for individuals to grow their skills in a fast-growing and always changing work environment. Most importantly, Driscoll’s encourages our employees to achieve their career growth and cultivate their personal well-being.
Here are some of the Growing Great People programs available to Driscoll’s employees:

Getting to Know Driscoll’s:

The program helps new employees to quickly integrate themselves into the Driscoll’s culture and develop friendships and contacts with other new employees in different departments.

Driscoll’s University:
A multi-day learning event to provide employees the opportunity to learn about what it takes to get Driscoll’s berries from “field to fork.” Employees will be exposed to Driscoll’s Production, Breeding and Research process, Product Quality, Food Safety and Logistics. The training also encourages employees to share how their talents and hard work contribute to the growth and success of Driscoll’s.

Driscoll’s Leadership Institute:
